In Jak and Daxter if by any chance the Area/assets ahead aren't fully loaded the game will make you trip to give it more time to fully load. #gamedev
In Super Mario 64 to achieve the infinite stairs effect, Mario gets teleported back. Also the reason why Speedrunners can glitch and skip it using the backwards jump trick. #gamedev
There was a memory exception in Wing Commander on exit, because of the deadline they left it but change the error message to "Thank you for playing Wing Commander!" #gamedev
This #gamedev trick is from Undertale, to prevent NPCs to walk on pits, Magic glass.
In Fallout 3 the Trains are actually a character wearing a train model as a hat. Engine didn't allow for vehicles, so this way they could reuse NPC movement code. #gamedev
In Super Mario Bros. because of memory limitations clouds and bushes are the same sprite but using a different tint color. #GameDev
In Kirby's Dream Land for GameBoy, to save memory some enemies have the same "back" part of the sprite and only change the face. #GameDev
Arto Koistinen@djlink Reminds me of a Lego Star Wars game that was done in a previous workplace for the old Java mobiles. They set it during the part where Luke, Han and Chewbacca break out Leia because they could just use the Stormtrooper sprites and switch heads to save on memory.
@arzi ahah nice, sometimes limitations lead to very interesting creative solutions.
